[Q] Updated: Gingerbread 2.3.3 Messaging Text Size help - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I managed to update and install Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my LG P500, I'm happy with it, except from one thing, when I go in to Messaging and try and type a text, the letters are so small on the keyboard, why have they made it smaller than the 2.2.2 text size?
Is there anyway possible, I can open up the 2.2.2 KDZ and take out the messaging text line/cmd/script and paste it into the 2.3.3 KDZ and update my phone again?
I much preferred the messaging text/letters size on the 2.2.2 build, someone help.
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll have a look. I see in your signature you have got Oxygen ROM installed to the same phone as me, what do most people use, is Oxygen stable on the phone?
More importantly, I currently have 2.2.2 installed on the phone, I suppose 2.3.3 is the latest OFFICIAL out atm?

Last question, I'm trying to grab the correct .KDZ file for my LGP500, I'm in the UK. I'm confused, Which one off the list below am I best off going with?

Go with the one that ends with 20G. It's new baseband. If you want to try custom roms you will it need it since most roms use it.
Using a rom is personal preference. I use oxygen and it's stable. I also switch to different roms for a change and more features.

Updated main post, someone please advise.
Quote from a different site on the Gingerbread 2.3.3 keyboard on LG P500 'the keyboard is way too small and i typo non-stop now.'
I think on other phones Gingerbread 2.3.3 keyboard looks fine, but it is way too small on the LG P500.

I'm not sure if it will work. KDZ might check the validity of file before flashing and so edited KDZ file won't work.
Why don't you try alternate keyboard from play store?
SwiftKey and Swype are good....

Official Final version of apanda (clone Boston) ROM 2.1
In the forum htcmania there are already staff testing this version. They say that GPS is working and that the only "problem", also announced by Apanda, is that this version does not bring installed Google applications (GMS), including the Market.
the link of the rom upgrade:
apk. apanda. com. cn / special / soft / pai_test / 2_1 / Hipi2_1_4.zip
The tools used by staff of htcmania for the upgrade are the same as the old version.
Is there some way how to backup my original rom? I have branded ROM by ORANGE and I want to save it if something goes wrong (with 2.1 update). Thanks
The Boston is out in Austria aswell now.
i'm interested to see if there is 2.1 coming on it.
if there is a working 2.1 with german or at least enlish, i'm gonna buy it!
I'm curious about these. A guy at work has the Blaze F800 variant and looking for an update. I don't think it's been done yet but there are several 2.1 roms for the Wellcomm and Apanda.
The problem that I see, is that going into bootloader mode, the only options I see are "reboot" and flash "sdcard:update.zip". In the screenshots of the other phones they are flashing a nb0 file via bootloader and have several more options; one of which is "Flash nb0 file from SdCard"

Rogers P925g finally getting GB

http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/01/30/rogers-lg-optimus-3d-receiving-android-os-2-3-5-upgrade-february-1st-heres-the-full-change-log/
According to this article, we're finally getting a Gingerbread update on Feb 1. I'm hoping that this fixes the data problems I've been having with the European GB versions, and maybe even fix the ghost call issue. I hope it can be rooted soon too.
Better late than never I suppose.
Here's a link to the V20C kdz file for those having trouble downloading it from LG.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14826760/V20C_00.kdz
Nice to hear that. I just acquired one today.
So only 2 days of waiting!
Kevindee can you try this method to see if you can get a kdz file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479
I tried it and it still gives me the original V10C from July, but I'm not entirely sure if I did it correctly.
lucky canadians
asians(including koreans so understand the irony) still dont have GB
Now how do i return to stock rogers from 21b?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
Please upload the kdz once it is out!

Well I suppose you can flash the stock V10C kdz file to return to stock. I'm not quite sure, but I think you should be able to just flash the new GB coming out without any problems.
joax11: I'm probably going to hold off on updating to GB right away until it can be rooted. I'm sure someone else on Rogers can upload the kdz file though.
Nice. But I have moved on. I am now P920
It's Feb 1 now.
Just checked, still no update.
Can anybody upload the update kdz?
yeah I just checked my LG update utility too under "Supporting Model" and it still says V10c for Rogers P925g.... common LG... don't make us wait on the day we've been waiting for!
I noticed a version of V20c on the screenshot of the phone in the original article posted. I'm sure that we won't have that rooted anytime soon, especially since 21b can't be rooted!
I just chatted with a support rep for LG Canada and here is what they said: "Unfortunately we have not been advised that the update is going to be released today. Where did you hear see this information?" I replied with the link and they they said: "The only information that we have been provided at the moment was that your model will be getting ice cream sandwich in the second or third quarter of this year." I then pushed it further and he said: "I was just advised that it will be soon. No time frame was given. Sorry.
ICS will be second or third quarter of this year."
When I contacted LG today they told me that they are not informed about any updates,and advised me to contact my network provider.

hmm apparently there are all kinds of blogs copying mobileSyrups original post and modifying the information slightly.. its all over the web. No concrete proof though of course.
My LG tool still says v10c directly from their servers and I'm in Canada on Rogers carrier.

probably just vaporware I am still running the brazil v20a rom.
It looks like they have got the 20C ready but just not allowing download yet.
If you try http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP925G/ARGSDB/V20c_00/V20C_00.kdz
You will get :
Forbidden
Your client is not allowed to access the requested object.
While if you change the 20c to 20b, you will get:
Not Found
The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it.
So this indicates indeed the file is there already.
Also, looks like 20A is there, too.
I hate LG keep us waiting for so long...........
So has anyone got it yet? Because I accidently installed v21a (don't ask) and I love the 2.3.5 but the lack of 4G/Hspa is hindering me but in my current area even on 2.2 the 4G in my area only does maybe 140kbps if I'm lucky rogers hasn't updated the pipe line. I also don't want to risk going back to 2.2 because I love v21a its so fast and 100% better
Hi chinabull.
I'm using your link and its working fine. 418Mb!
let me download the whole kdz image.
Hey guys,any news?

Optimus 3D Will Not Update

Hi,
I recently purchased a new LG Optimus 3D which has no network branding or boot logos. It is running Android 2.2.2 with V10k firmware which I believe is "Europe Open". However, when I connect my phone to the computer to update I am told there is no updates available?
I feel a little bit upset as I thought this was a good phone with the opportunity to upgrade to a newer version of Android but it seems that the phone can't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you.

You can download firmware from here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
then flash it using kdz tool in development section.
Thanks for your reply!
I did read a guide and I followed it the best I could but the software just crashed when I tried. Then I found another LG tool which looked easier and this said the KDZ file was incorrect. Please could you help me to flash the device to Android 2.3.5? I'd really appreciate that!

Guess you probably managed to upgrade it but here it is step by step..
Before we start i suppose you know about the ghost calls issue that OPTIMUS 3D gingerbread based roms have and you are sure you want to upgrade iy..
Step 1
download
V21a from here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AESOML/v21d_00/V21D_00.kdz
or
V21d from here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AESOML/v21d_00/V21D_00.kdz
Step 2
download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=887870&d=1328537753
Step 3
make sure you have installed your lg phone drivers before continuing to the next step
Step 4
unzip LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.zip
you will find a filename Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs
run it
if everything runs ok it will take you to the upgrade tool if not it will probably show you a windows script host error
if that happens try running it manualy from folder
LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
as soon as KDZ_FW_UPD.exe select Type: 3qct and PhoneMode: Emergency
select your downloaded kdz file connect your phone and press
Launch software update
It will take some time to decompress the files but if everything is ok it will start.
You will see the progress with various messages the last message ends with 0
That should do the job..
2 b honest, i think u should keep staying in froyo, until lg solved the ghostcall issue. i updated to gingerbread weeks ago, and messed up by the ghost calls.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
Thank you for your replies!
I am starting to consider staying with Froyo as I do not want to miss calls or SMS. Particularly the SMS. That would be a very big problem for me to miss a SMS!
I am wondering as this is a Meteor handset and they haven't even released Android 2.3. If LG releases Android 4 for this phone, would I be able to flash it with a Europe Open KDZ just like I would for Android 2.3? Unless of course they officially release the update but I think that is unlikely considering they haven't released 2.3!
Is the ghost calls and sms a big problem with this phone and the Android 2.3 update?!
Cheers!
2.3 gingerbread is really a nice firmware, u can use the 3d button as the camera shutter button during the camera mod.
there is some new playlist in the music player for you to sort all the songs.
theres a 2d to 3d tool,u can use it to turn the softwares or games into 3d, but not every app works.(froyo can install this tool too, but i havent try it yet)
also 2.3.5 with a longer battery life.
not everything become better, u will get some laggs everyday, which wont happen in froyo for weeks without reboot.
then the ghost calls issue! this issue just can not acceptable! u dont know when or where it will happen. and while it happen, it ruin ur reputation. your boss, your friends and family ,they all considered u ignored their calls on purpose. ≥﹏≤
and the credit card company can not notify u every debit event via the message. it might cost u if someone created ur copy card ,or picked it.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
I really want to go for the Android 2.3 update for this phone by flashing the rom but I am nervous about the ghost call issue.
Is there anything I can do to see if I would be affected? Anything to do with the network or something? Sorry for my misunderstanding, I just am curious if theres a way around the matter.
Chances are you will be affected.. maybe you will not notice it but it will happen.
Reagarding ICS i guess LG is not gonna give it soon.
Froyo is ok BUT its too old.
There are also plenty of ROMS over here in XDA that you can try.
I am currently using:
Rom:ThiaizO3D 2.6.1 Prada Gingerbread + Real3D ICS look
Cpu:Overclocked 1.22 (Antutu Benchmark Score 6228)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3ee...DvjVQa1PpcFNhr2pTgwIdtRMI2jRQla0DEXDWXrsqDrY=
I do not think the update, I would point to the custom rom. Because the LG seems to have no intentions of taking this team rom
I am going to email LG now!

[Q] LG P999 info

Hi guys. Yesterday I got brand new LG P999 (T-mobile i think, On the box is LG-999,not G2X), although I live in Europe In settings options under about phone tab are following details: android version 2.3.4, kernel 2.6.32.9, built GRJ 22, baseband m6600a-scautnz-2.09720t (may212012)mp:trulge_08.09.02r_mdm, software version lg-p999-v10c-usa-xxx. When I try to update firmware through LG Mobile Support Tool it says that there is already latest version V10c. I dowloaded app GetRil form google play and it says that RIL is not compatible to existing Baseband. So my question: is there another/newer version of software version (like v20 or something), do I need to install adequate baseband and which one or just sit back,relax and wait for official ICS?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english
"sit back relax and wait for official ics "

[Q] Anyone has P5110XXCLK7 firmware?

Hi! So the problem is that I installed a custom ROM on the family tablet, but some family members want to get the stock JB back. I have a backup of stock ICS only, because P5110XXDMI1 got released after I flashed the custom ROM and now as Hotfile is dead, I can't get this firmware from anywhere.
So I would be grateful if someone had and could upload P5110XXDMI1 to somewhere.

Oops I just figured out that this one is 4.2.2 which has the notification things at top which is terrible, but on that website there is no 4.1 firmware for europe. So anyone has P5110XXCLK7? I checked and it's 4.1.
